If you don't go to the gig, sj, the body image demons have already won!
Tho I completely know where you are coming from.
I just realized I'm the only person (other than Mal) in my building. Everyone else is gone for the long weekend or more. Spooky.

I believe they already declared victory a while ago.

Aw, babe. You're dating a musician. Like Willow. Willow turned out to be hot, right? When she wasn't veiny, that is.

and the body image demons are haunting me.
You seem to be missing a basic concept, sj. You're WITH THE BAND. As a band girlfriend, you already have the major cool points. I can't imagine your not looking good, but I know what those demons are like.

There are better hotties with the band than me.

Not the point! You will always be able to find someone prettier/smarter/better than yourself (even if third party observers don't agree with your assessment). That's a lose-lose game, so don't even play. Go, support Teacup Guy, listen to music. Don't give in to the Dark Side.
Except for the part where you have to wear black.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I'm going to buck the trend and say: being a Band Girlfriend(TM) doesn't mean you have to go to every single gig. The measure of how much you love Teacup Guy is *not* based on an attendance record.
Will he be happy that you're there IF he knows that *you* aren't having a good time? No, because *he* wants you to be happy, too.
If you don't want to go, I say don't go. Maybe make him dinner beforehand? A little snuggle time beforehand? In my book, that's Good Girlfriend(TM) material.

You have to do it for those of us sitting home watching cable tonight, pet. Besides, I've already been the yellow-belly crip this week...doing my part to make bravery meaningful.

I'm kidding...I get it if you don't feel like it. Just don't let the *demons* stop you.

I'll likely be just as miserable if I stay home. No, I don't have to go to every gig, you're right, but Dave is working and he is coming home with just enough time to eat quick and run off to the gig. I don't feel I can just cancel on him when he walks in the door. Plus, I feel I have been unfair to him lately. I've been snappish and never quite ready on time lately. I know most of it is depression because I have to say good-bye to T tomorrow. Dave has been wonderfully supportive, but it is not fair that I am taking this out on him.
